What it shows you

The answers you want before you head over

A favorite says “I like this place.” A Home Bar says “this is my place.”

  • What is on tonight?

    Happy hours, open mics, tournaments, live music, and one-time specials your bar posts show up first.

  • Is it a good time to go?

    When the bar has vibe or activity updates, you can tell a lively night from a quiet one before you leave.

  • Who is behind the bar?

    When a bar shares who is on shift, you can see familiar faces.

  • Is there a reason to go now?

    A deal, an event, or a Passport offer stands out without making every night look urgent.

  • How often have you been?

    When progress is available, your check-ins and Passport moments sit next to the bar itself.

    Your Home Bar and anything it has posted for today are at the top.

How it fits

Close to home, open to more.

Your Home Bar stays close without hiding other bars, events, or the rest of the kava community.

  • Favorites. Save as many bars as you like. Your Home Bar is the one you call home.
  • Passport. Passport helps you try participating bars. Your Home Bar is where you come back to, and its Passport offers show up sooner when it takes part.
  • TravelRoot. Some nights are about the place you know. Others are about new stops on a route. The app does both.

Questions

What is Your Home Bar?

Your Home Bar is the kava bar you choose as your primary regular spot in HappyKava. It gives that bar a more prominent role in your personalized app experience and helps bring relevant bar information closer.

Is a Home Bar the same as a favorite?

No. You can save multiple favorite bars, but Your Home Bar identifies one primary bar. Favorites are your collection; Your Home Bar is your anchor.

Can I have more than one Home Bar?

HappyKava currently treats one bar as Your Home Bar at a time. You can still save and visit as many other bars as you like.

How do I choose my Home Bar?

Sign in to HappyKava, open the Home Bar picker from an available Home Bar management entry point, search for the bar, select it, and save your choice.

Can I change my Home Bar?

Yes. Choose another bar whenever your regular spot changes. Your new selection replaces the previous Home Bar.

Can I remove my Home Bar completely?

Yes. The Home Bar picker includes a reset option that clears your saved Home Bar without deleting your account, favorites, or visit history.

What happens if I do not choose one?

HappyKava may still surface a useful bar based on available personalization and location signals, but choosing a Home Bar yourself gives you direct control over which bar receives primary placement.

What can appear in the Your Home Bar area?

Depending on available data, the area may include bar imagery, relevant posted deals or events, Passport redemption context, live vibe information, public staff-on-shift information, and personal progress.

Will every Home Bar show live vibe information?

No. Live context depends on available and recent information. When no useful vibe signal exists, HappyKava should not imply that it knows how the room currently feels.

Can I see who is working at my Home Bar?

Public on-shift information may appear when the bar uses supported staff tools and makes that information available. Not every bar or shift will have a visible roster.

Does Your Home Bar show happy hours and deals?

It can bring forward active or relevant deals posted through HappyKava. Deal schedules and availability are controlled by the bar and can change, so review the current details before making a special trip.

Does Your Home Bar show events?

Yes, relevant upcoming or active events posted for the bar can appear in the Home Bar experience when available.

Does Your Home Bar work with Passport?

Yes. When your Home Bar participates in Passport and your account has a relevant redemption opportunity, Passport can receive priority in the Home Bar promotion area.

Is Your Home Bar a loyalty program?

Not by itself. It is a personalization feature that identifies your primary bar. Check-ins, Passport, Regulars, deals, and other HappyKava features may add separate progress, perks, or redemption experiences.

Does setting a Home Bar check me in?

No. Choosing a Home Bar saves a profile preference. It does not confirm that you are physically at the bar. Check-in remains a separate action with its own eligibility and location rules.

Does setting a Home Bar redeem an offer?

No. Deals, Passport Shells, and other benefits keep their own redemption rules. Setting a Home Bar only changes how the bar is prioritized in your HappyKava experience.

Can I still discover other kava bars?

Yes. Your Home Bar does not limit search, nearby discovery, Passport exploration, TravelRoot routes, events, strains, favorites, or any other bar.

What happens to Your Home Bar while I am using TravelRoot?

Your Home Bar remains saved to your profile. During an active TravelRoot trip, HappyKava may prioritize active-trip information so your current route and next stop remain easy to reach.

Do I need an account?

Yes. A HappyKava account is required to save, change, or reset Your Home Bar across your personalized experience.

Is Your Home Bar available on iPhone and Android?

The core Your Home Bar experience is part of the HappyKava app on iOS and Android. Platform-specific extensions or widgets may vary.

What if my Home Bar closes, becomes inactive, or is no longer available?

HappyKava may fall back to another useful bar rather than keeping an unavailable location in the primary Home Bar position. You can also open the picker and choose a new bar.

What if my kava bar is missing from HappyKava?

Use HappyKava's available suggestion or reporting path to submit the location for review. After the bar is available in the directory, you can select it as Your Home Bar.
